Renewable Energy

Welcome to the world of renewables

Blue Moon Diamond Holdings is one of the world's leading specialists in renewable energies. We offer Project Development (Wind & Solar), Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services while being recognised leaders in off-grid hybrid solar-wind-thermal-storage energy solutions. We offer products and solutions for the ongoing transition to 100% renewable energy. Our business activities are focused on utility-scale Solar and Wind projects under the Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA) renewable power project solutions for private clients, and hybrid power project solutions for mining operations.

We work together to implement renewable energies economically and reliably, thereby delivering the best value renewable energy projects in Africa today.

Blue Moon Diamond Holdings (BMDH) is developing a 1GW Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant as an Independent Power Producer (IPP) and will be connected to the National Grid in an effort to help solve the electricity problem in the country. The plant will make use of the Central Receiver technology and will use molten salt for thermal storage and as a heat transfer fluid. This Technology will allow BMDH to generate solar power 24/7.

Strategic value of the technology to the country:

Socio Economic Benefits- The tower technology could be manufactured with a higher local content when compared to other CSP technologies, thus contributing to sustainable job creation through the establishment of local manufacturing capacity.
Grid Stability - Proven energy storage of the heat transfer medium forms an integral part of the plant. This means that CSP plants can generate electricity when the sun does not shine and provide power when it is most needed on the grid system, to support morning and evening peaks.
Large-scale Generation - CSP plants can be built in modular format in multi-MW units.  The plant can be replicated in parks of 100's of MW, with no fuel costs, and requiring land similar to that of conventional fossil plants with coal mines.
Low Environmental Impact - A significant benefit to CSP is that it has little environmental impact - a solar-only plant has no emissions and occupies a similar portion of land compared to conventional fossil plants.
